Thursday Reading: Courting the Low Information Voter, One Lama at a Time


La O-Bamba

Another great post over at What Do I Know? by Democrat Abroad Kathy Flake, this one about the swirling myths surrounding a certain Dem prez candidate. Many of us know (and miss) Kathy and her nonstop activism that used to be a fixture in the progressive Dem community here in Albuquerque back in the Deaniac-Miles Nelsoniac era. She's been living outside London for -- how many years is it now? Too many. At least from our point of view. But we do have her wide-ranging, enlightening and often very funny blogging from overseas to hold us over.

Like me, she's a big fan of Obama and Martin Heinrich. The Dean People of yore have a tendency to be attracted to the same candidates, for similar reasons. Kathy posted a fab piece on Martin last week. If you get a chance, go read Solar Cars, Homegrown Broccoli, and Martin Heinrich.

And Kathy -- the DNC Convention bunch has yet to receive an application from Democrats Abroad to be the group's credentialed blogger at the August convention in Denver. You know what to do.

Thank you Barb, you are too kind! I am applying for that DNC Dems Abroad position. Might be fun! Will any of my New Mexico pals be there?

Oh good! Hope you get picked.

Mary Ellen and I will definitely be there one way or another. Not sure who else at this stage. Delegates will be elected 4/19.

What's great is that even if a blogger doesn't win a floor credentials slot, Daily Kos and CO bloggers are organizing a big center for bloggers nearby that will have wifi, workstations, a stage, refreshments, tvs, monitors with direct feeds, evening entertainment and all kinds of politicos stopping by for interviews, etc. YouTube and Google have already signed on as sponsors.

Email me. I have more info on housing etc. from a conference call this week.
